TIGER-CATS RELEASE HIGH-PRICED QB PRINTERS

The Casey Printers experiment is over in Hamilton.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have released Printers, who was scheduled to earn in the neighbourhood of $380,000 this season.

Printers struggled from the start of the 2008 campaign and lost his starting job midway through the year. In 10 games, he amassed 1,693 yards passing but also threw twice as many interceptions (10) as touchdowns (5).

The Tiger-Cats finished the season with a dismal 3-15 record and missed the playoffs for the fourth straight season.

After being released by the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, Printers signed a three-year contract with the Tiger-Cats midway through the 2007 season, making him the highest paid player in the league at the time. He has two years remaining on the deal.

Printers was named the CFL's Most Outstanding Player following the 2004 season, when he guided the B.C. Lions to an appearance in the Grey Cup in his rookie campaign.

The heir apparent in Hamilton appears to be Quinton Porter, who also appeared in 10 games last season. The rookie from Boston College finished the year with 1,496 yards passing, registering 10 touchdowns while giving up four interceptions.

There is also speculation the Tiger-Cats are interested in acquiring Blue Bombers quarterback Kevin Glenn, whose days in Winnipeg appear to be over with new head coach Mike Kelly taking over.

According to CKNW Radio in Vancouver, the Toronto Argonauts and Saskatchewan Roughriders are interested in Printers' services.

If it weren't for his "Snap-fumble-itis", I would have started him over Huard or Croyle in a New York ****ing Minute!
